secured a future match up with former
two time WBA super-middleweight champion
Anthony Mundine – with it a guaranteed
purse of $250,000. He won by split
decision over seven rounds on the
scorecards by 68-66 and 68-65 with the

!What a
great year of boxing we have had !!

A special thanks to all Aussie promoters keeping the game at
the forefront as without them boxing
just goes on unnoticed.

This is why the YVB website and award exist.

(below you can see the small range of awards made by Young
Victor's YVB) for the Year 2009

YVB also bring to you online this years effort by the now
very small committee of the old Boxers &
Trainer League which seems to be in the
doldrums as the main mast for this is
the now rather tired John (Hank) Stanley

The following Awards to fighters, trainers and promoters have
been recently organized by Keith in
place of Hank Stanley but this year YVB
and some local boxing men and women
filled the gap.

Pacquiao plans to sue Floyd
Manila: Manny Pacquiao plans to sue
Floyd Mayweather, the American’s father
and Golden Boy Promotions in the next
few days following a row over doping
procedures, the Filipino world champion
said in a statement on Friday.
“Enough is enough. These people,
Mayweather Sr., Jr., and Golden Boy
Promotions, think it is a joke and a
right to accuse someone wrongly of using
steroids or other performance-enhancing
drugs,” Pacquiao was quoted as saying.
“I have instructed my promoter to help
me out in the filing of the case as soon
as possible.”

THE credibility of television boxing show The Contender has
been rocked by allegations of "dodgy"
decisions and poor judging.
Billed as an opportunity to win $250,000
and a superfight against Anthony
Mundine, the Fox 8 program has been put
under the microscope after a string of
suspicious decisions.
Ousted fighter Junior Talipeau remains
furious about being robbed of victory
against big-punching Russian Victor
Oganov in the fourth fight of the
series, a bout numerous boxing experts
believe the Australian middleweight
champion clearly won, including YVB.

Robyn Ironside
November 24, 2009 07:08am
A FORMER world champion and Olympic and
Commonwealth Games boxer has been
stabbed during a family fight.
Police said Robert Peden, 36, was not
seriously injured in the fight with a
family member about 10.30pm Monday at
Loganlea, south of Brisbane.
He was treated by the Queensland
Ambulance Service before being
transported to Logan Community Hospital
with a stab wound to the arm.
Police are investigating the incident.
Peden won Commonwealth gold for
Australia in 1994 and became
Queensland's first world boxing champion
in 2005, taking the IBF super
featherweight crown.
He also represented Australia at the
Barcelona and Atlanta Olympic Games.
He recently organised a fundraising

"MOST IMPORTANT PROMOTION OF THE YEAR"

David Deicke receiving the YVB Most Important Promotion of
the Year 2009 trophy.

David received it also, on behalf of his partner Keith Ellis
for Prestige Sports Management.

Their SUPERBOXER channel 10's ONE HD was an absolutely great
show and it is shameful for channel 10
not to continue these free to air series
as they went so well.

An
eventful action packed night took place
at the hall with which satisfied all the
fight fans in attendance.

It was
named ELITE CRANES CUP after the main
sponsors

There were
three championship fights, 12 rounds
being an interim IBF Pan Pacific
Welterweight title, 10 rounds for the
WBF Intercontinental Light Middleweight
title and 8 rounds for the Victorian
Cruiserweight title.

Ellis displayed a masterful and stylish win over Suwunnalirt
and again displayed signs that he is
ready to tackle the bigger guns in the
game.

After a stylish first round Ellis tried a few potential ko
punches in the second but fell short of
target.

In the third a sharp left hook, part of a speedy combination
dropped Suwunnalirt for an eight count.

In the ninth round Ellis missed an opportunity as he had his
opponent shaken but missed following it
up or didn't want to take the risk in
case of it being a luring act.

All in all I gave Ellis every round of the fight.

Suwunnalirt is no pussy in boxing and has gone 12 rounds
distance with Current IBO champ
Lovemore N'dou
and stopped by
Michael
Katsidis holder of the WBO
lightweight title.

Pacquiao beats up Miguel Cotto

Manny Pacquiao put on yet another dominating performance,
knocking down Miguel Cotto twice and
turning his face into a bloody mess
before finally stopping him 55 seconds
into the 12th round.
Pacquiao used his blazing speed and
power from both hands to win his seventh
title in seven weight classes and cement
his stature as the best pound-for-pound
fighter in the world. Cotto took such a
beating that his face was a river of red
from the fury of Pacquiao's punches.

On Tuesday night the 19th of August
Peter Maniatis will be arriving in Cebu
to film a documentary about the ALA gym
that is owned by Antonio Aldeguer for
Australia's TV C31 Boxing show.

This will cover how the boxers train, also schooling and

Boxing show which recently celebrated
its 300th broadcast.
"Antonio Aldeguer has been very helpful
and welcoming to the ALA gym and I would
like to thank everyone at the ALA gym
for the opportunity," said Peter
Maniatis
The ALA gym help boxers in their sport
and later in life with their careers
after boxing which he thinks is very
important.
Maniatis is planning to record two
boxing shows which he will have shown on
his KO Boxing Show.

The decision for the WBO Interim Asia Pacific featherweight
title held on 9th. July this year was
reversed to NO CONTEST as both fighters
engaged in boxing's unlawful activities.

The fighters were Billy Dib vs Kenichi Yamaguchi they fought
at Luna Park, Sydney, New South Wales,
Australia on the first of channel 10"s
1HD free to air broadcast. Details of
the final decision went as follows:

The officials were: Referee: Les Fear Judge: Garry Dean
Judge: Des Bloyd Judge: George Plellis
The outcome was:
The Boxing Authority of NSW at its
meeting on Tuesday 4th August 2009
reviewed the contest, received reports
from Authority members present on the
night, and viewed the video of the
contest.
TKO decision favouring Dib was ruled NO
CONTEST 2:59 Round 1
The Authority's decision was by reason
of what was determined to be deliberate
and illegal activity by both contestants
during the round.

upcoming boxers, their trainers and
promoters.

GEALE MADE MANDATORY CHALLENGER TO IBO WORLD TITLE

BUT
DANIEL'S IBO RESULT PROTEST DENIED

The protest
has been denied - the panel of 3 judges
scored the fight almost identically to
the fight on the night however it's a
split points to Geale (the 114-113 came
down in his favour). The President
scored the fight 114-114 a draw. The
other points were noted but it was found
to have no case. HOWEVER Geale on the
weight of his performance and under our
championship rules has been made
mandatory challenger that Mundine must
face by February.

SUPERBOXER on channel 10's 1HD
First of the series!!! from Sydney!!
ended up in quite an unexpected manner.

After what
was going as a successful fightnight the
Japanese import Kenichi Yamaguchi began
the first round with unexpected tactics
which created a confusion by rushing
like a madman towards our newest boxing
star and attempting to throw a massive
right hand which really was no threat to
Dib other than showing what sort of a
sportsman he was.

The
audience saw Dib trying to gain
composure for some time unsuccessfully
as the the Japanese fighter kept his
unusual tactics which only ended up in
placing both boxers off balance to the
point where they were falling over one
another.

This had
nothing to do with channel ten's 1HD
organization of the show nor the Sydney
promoter of the event.

These were
a select group which are hindering
Australian Boxing in NSW time and time
again.

We at YVB
look forward to seeing the next of the
series in Melbourne Thursday 16th July.

Furthermore
rethinking where these events should be
taking place will be an important issue
for channel 10 1HD.

Daniel Geale's manager lodges official protest against judge

By Bernie Pramberg
June 02, 2009Pre-fight protests against
Queensland judge Derek Milham at last
week's Anthony Mundine-Daniel Geale IBO
super-middleweight clash fell on deaf
ears.
Geale's manager Bill Treacy, who will
this week lodge an official protest to
the International Boxing Organisation on
a number of issues, has revealed he had
complained about Milham's appointment
before the bout.
"I complained, but the promoters
insisted he stay," said Treacy. "In the
past Derek Milham has been involved with
Mundine and the World Boxing Association
in certain boxing matters. I was told
that the IBO and WBA would sort out our
concerns about having him as a judge
last week. But nothing happened."
Milham, who resigned as an Australian
National Boxing Federation official two
years ago but continued to work for the
WBA, scored the fight 116-113 to
Mundine. It is alleged Milham has
assisted the Mundine camp to negotiate
past bouts within the WBA organisation.
English judge Marcus McDonnell went
114-113 for Mundine while American
Richard Green favoured Geale 115-112.
Treacy's written complaint to the IBO
will also include alleged verbal
intimidation of McDonnell during the
fight by a pro-Mundine spectator and why
referee Garry Dean had to interrupt the
fight on five occasions when tapes on
Mundine's gloves came loose.
"It's okay for the judge to say he
wasn't intimidated, but it leads to a
state of mind when someone is screaming
over your shoulder," said Treacy. "It
should not be allowed.
"We will also examine the videotape to
see if a wet towel was applied to
Mundine's gloves so the tape would not
stick."

Anthony Mundine has won his third world
title after claiming Daniel Geale's IBO
middleweight crown in Brisbane.

Mundine
almost had an early win when he scored a
knockdown in the second round of their
12 rounder.

Geale
quickly recovered and took the fight to
Mundine most of the time to end up with
both fighters exchanging very fast
coordinated combinations which kept the
fight very exciting and keeping the
result very much in doubt.

The rounds
were interrupted by tape unusually
coming loose and dangling from Mundine's
gloves which hindered Geale on several
occasions.
Geale the Sydney-based Tasmanian kept up
his attacks to hold his own against "The
Man" and go the distance, only to lose
by a split decision.

Mundine
now has 39 fights for 36 wins 3 losses
It was Geale's first ever loss in his
22-fight professional career, now 22
fights for 21 wins 1 loss.

YV thought
that Geale fared better in the points
department.

"TIGER" TIM BELL & KANE McKay BRING HOUSE DOWN
15th May 2009
Full House, great fights with star
studded attendance filled the Sunshine
Roller Skating Centre.
The main event between "Tiger" Tim Bell
and Kane McKay had people breathless
while watching these two warriors taking
it in turns to score a potential KO.
Tim Bell winning by TKO 2:49 minutes
into the 9th round stopped by referee
Chris Anderson to evade further
punishment following an 8 count
knockdown.

Tim now
ranked No8 in the World Boxing
Association (WBA) stayed on one ruthless
mission to put Kane away round after
round and didn't stop until he
succeeded.
Kane McKay made a very impressive
showing throughout with good defense and
answered all attacks by Bell landing a
lot of his own punches but just didn't
have the strength needed to get on top
of his opponent.
This was definitely one of the
contenders for fight of the year.

Tim Bell is
expected to fight for the WBA Light

year.

Mundine casts Taylor aside

February
11, 2009 - 11:59PM
Anthony Mundine won a unanimous points
decision over veteran Shannan Taylor in
their WBA middleweight fight in
Wollongong on Wednesday night.
In Mundine's first bout at the lower
weight, the two-time former super
middleweight world champion showed he
had lost none of his speed, winning
every round to likely send 36-year-old
Taylor into retirement.
In a scrappy encounter that never
reached any great heights, Mundine
landed far more punches and dictated
terms without inflicting too much damage
on the Bulli Blaster.
Taylor was lucky not to be disqualified
after using elbows, head clashes and low
blows to try to pull off an unlikely
victory and he was clearly outboxed.
Already the No.1-ranked WBA middleweight
contender, Mundine is perfectly placed
for a world title fight against Felix
Sturm in his native Germany later this
year, although a re-match with Perth's
Danny Green also appears a strong
possibility.
Mundine improved his record to 35-3,
while Taylor dropped to 48-7, with three
draws. as seen in

Ringside Report:
Armenia's Vic Darchinyan proves to much
for Jorge Arce, stopping him before the
final round to keep a firm hold of his
WBC, WBA and IBF titles

Photos by Tom Casino
/ Showtime

ANAHEIM, CA - This time, media members
picked Vic
Darchinyanto win,
and this time, they were right.

The "Raging Bull" successfully defended
his WBA, WBC and IBF titles with a TKO
stoppage over challenger
Jorge
Arceafter eleven
rounds in front of a raucous crowd of
5,450 at the Honda Center in Anaheim,
California.

Darchinyan wasn't as the stalker he was
in his last fight, which also ended in a
stoppage by knockout over
Christian
Mijares, but Darchinyan
slowly got into an offensive rhythm to
which Arce, (51-5, 39KO's) could not
answer to.

Darchniyan's momentum began in the
second round, as he began to land his
left hand with force, with Arce
returning fire, yet not as effectively
as the reigning super flyweight
champion.

Arce landed his first major punch midway
through the third round as the two
proceeded to exchange in attempts to
gain the momentum factor. Arce also had
a productive fourth round, in which he
landed a solid left hook to begin the
round, and was able to land three to
four punches in succession.

In the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds,
Arce succumbed to the constant left
hands from Darchinyan. Arce waiting to
find openings in Darchinyan's offense,
and there proved to be little.
Darchinyan was able to apply more
offense in these rounds, and won them
simply due to more punching output with
an advantage in punching power.

In the tenth, Arce was able to land an
occasional right hand, but failed to
either follow up on his punches or
seriously hurt Darchinyan, who walked
through Arce's punches with ease.
Darchinyan was able to land solid,
effective punches in the 30th minutes of
the fight, which left the right side of
Arce's face swelled.

The eleventh and decisive round was all
Darchinyan, as Arce fell prey to big
shots that left Arce's already swelling
eye in a worse condition. He was
battered against the ropes several
times, and nearly stopped before the
bell rang, ending the round.

After the round, ring side physician
Paul Wallace suggested to referee, Dr.
Lou Moret, to stop the fight based on
Arce's badly cut and swelled right eye,
and the fight was ended, with Darchinyan
first winning over his journalistic
critics, who predicted he would lose to
the then favored Mijares in November of
last year, then proving them right with
their predictions of this fight and in
the process retaining his championship
titles.

Heading into the final round,
Darchinyan, (32-1-1, 26KO's) was
massively ahead on all three judges'
scorecards, 109-100.
